Cats love to roll about!!
Pip is so enthusiastic about it when he gets to be outside with me!
Anyway, he is not a garden plant so lets move on!
Gee we’ve had some gorgeous weather lately! I might even say summer like!
Its really helping the plants make a move
I even pulled up a garlic (like a month or so early)
The purple patch does look a bit bleurgh…
Plus its got this rust thing on thats been creeping in. So I’ve got to find out what it is and how to combat it. Hasn’t effected the growth or the garlic itself… but I would rather not have it
Finally planted some carrot seeds!!
And some pumpkin seeds under the covers
I picked up some apple cucumber seedlings and popped them in too
Snow peas finally making a move!
The white garlic looking happy
I got in and weeded the potato patch… planting them under the straw helped overall with the appearance of weeds
There are even a few flowers here and there
The young blueberry bushes have some fruit too
Back up in the veranda garden, it was time to weed and mulch the lettuce
The cape gooseberry plants had dropped a lot of seed
This patch has done well overall… only lost one lettuce
All snug now. 🙂
The basil are grimly hanging on to life by their cuticles…so they got a weeding and a boost of kelp juice and some mulch.
Fingers crossed (The rocket doing just fine and dandy)
Moving right along to the herb spiral
The oregano is still super lush…
But the lemon balm was too bushy and the borage was just too big and getting mucky
The bees were loving the borage but I wanted my path back… seeds have dropped and new plants are already on their way
I also pulled out some mint that is getting in everywhere (of course) as well as giving the lemon balm a severe haircut (the chives can breathe again)
Nice to walk back down my path!!
I found a little spot for a new thyme bush too!
And put Mavis’s gorgeous Thyme Sign back with the right plant!!
Oh… and I crushed my thumb between two rocks which wasn’t smart.
The perils of gardening!
Hope everyone is having a lovely week!
Cheers!
